NEW Florida Fast Electric Club

What did who order?

[hebner]

Oh no not another Riddler

[bill34207]

Just trying to keep in the spirit of the group. With a couple of hints it should be an easy guess. I don't have a bent rudder to give the winner though.
I't already been named amongst the 1/10 scale roster, it's a modern and comes from a reputable company.

[bill34207]

A reputable Florida Company?

No. By buying out of state I at least beat the sales tax, and would have had to pay shipping even if bought inside Florida.

I don't think there will be a problem with the 1/8 scales in our pond, but I don't think you'll see 5 to 8 boats at the same time, I'm thinking 4 would be very exciting.
Although that decision would be up to the people running them and the safety officer, safety is the prime concern .
I'm pretty sure we will be running the 1/8 mile format, if we went to 1/6 it would be to tight . I'll see the guy's today and discuss this with them. Seems like we looked at it before and decided there wasn't enough room .

As I said, Ken Haines told me it will be the 1/8th mile.

The 1/8th mile is the short one Terry, not the 1/6th.

Yea I know Jim, when I said 1/6 was to tight I meant not enough room for lanes outside the bouys.
I was looking today and all we could do is maybe 20 ft on ea. end and thats not enough to make a 1/6 mile course, then you would have a problem with the offshore bouys.
I'm with Ken and Rick (we are the three FE officers of the club) on this and we will be running the 1/8 mile.

Jason,

Line6 as in the amps?

[highndry]

Their lake would no way imo support 1/6 for a field that the nats will bring..great as it is.

[T.C.]

The bouys will be fixed Jason, what color do ya think we should paint the new bouys as there kinda rusty ?
We got a deal on them from the USCG, used but still in good shape.
The bell on one of them will probably get annoying but I think well get used to it. LOL
The course will be 1/8th mile, with supersoft bouys.

Any thing but yellow we have some yellow ones and they are hard to pick up under certain conditions . I would say red or orange
